Tensions are mounting. Imperials and the New Republic alike are setting the stage for invasions. Armies are in training, troops being dispatched, leaders are coordinating the survival of their planet or the take over of another one. Bases and Outposts are being placed in preparation. Some are \u00a0placed to intimidate small cities, others located more stealthily in the lesser traveled areas of planets. Training is underway to take out these bases, some preemptively in hopes of turning back an invasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join your faction today and start preparing. Below is the training manual to take out a base. Learn it. Use it. Don\u2019t let the other side take over your planet!<\/span><\/p>\n

OOC:<\/b><\/p>\n

Base busting was a very popular PvP event in SWG Live. It was content driven by players. A faction could plop down a base, complete with NPCs and those deadly turrets, to protect a city or outpost. The opposing faction would search out these bases and then make plans to bust the base wide open. <\/span><\/p>\n

The planetary invasions in Starports are designed around the base busting model as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Below is a guide I found from the old SWG Live forums. It\u2019s been tweaked to explain the new base busting design of EiF\u2019s developers. <\/span><\/p>\n

Required Professions:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Bounty Hunter 2000 (Investigation II)<\/span><\/p>\n

Smuggler 0100 (Slicing I)<\/span><\/p>\n

Novice Doctor <\/span><\/p>\n

Commando 0200 (Heavy Weapons II)<\/span><\/p>\n

Novice Squad Leader<\/span><\/p>\n

Equipment:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The smuggler must have Molecular Clamps and Laser Knives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Base Vulnerability Times:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Find an opposite faction spy who is at least a Warrant Officer II. They can enter any base and look for the Main terminal to check its status. The base\u2019s terminal will indicate how much time is left before the base is vulnerable to attack. For those placing bases, the countdown starts when the base is dropped. \u00a0The base will be vulnerable to attack for two hours. <\/span><\/p>\n

If a spy is not available, use \/tar power. If the base is vulnerable, you will be able to target its power regulator.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starport Note<\/b><\/span>:<\/span> These are only vulnerable when an invasion is active.<\/span><\/p>\n

Base Entry:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

When the team gets to the base\/starport, turrets should be taken down first. <\/span><\/p>\n

You cannot enter the base while the turrets are up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Base Only Note<\/b><\/span>:<\/span> You can blow up the turrets prior to the vulnerability window. However the defenders can replace them. Only one turret can be added during the vulnerability window.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take Down Procedures:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Remember there is a timer ticking down!<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure that system messages are enabled in your options<\/span><\/p>\n
